This is a level I had designed more than ten years ago before I knew the existence of this forum. This was never uploaded online and I find it shameful. There are probably too much secrets in the level design, but I want to upload it as it is. I hope you'll enjoy
Note that for the last secret, one should be patient, and this can work only if you have found all previous secrets.

Good job in creating the Announcement! I will make sure it is completed when I receive the WWD, Statz, etc.

Of course, the release date will be 2021, in April or May ... but the date of original creation will be displayed somewhere.

[GooRoo]

Is there someone experienced enough and willing enough to BETA test this one? PM me for the download link.

[swietymiki]

I received the level from Doc2P on Discord and suggested some changes regarding Secret Teleporters on unmarked tiles.

[GooRoo]

I have spent a little time on this, and have updated the Announcement with the Toolz I have acquired so far. I only have two Gruntz to play with, and now have to decide when to get the Springz. I think it will be revealed much later, so will go with the Bootz when I start in again.

[GooRoo]

The Silver Pyramid path after GunHat and Gravity Bootz CPS satisfied is too long without a 'safe' spot to stand. These old fingers have not been able to reach the end of it.

So I am 'stuck'. I will try again after a bit of a break.

[GooRoo]

While not truly 'safe' places, doing the "Curly Shuffle" I was able to get a Grunt (Gravity Bootz, right or wrong) to the pool.

I think the pool is a "Red Herring", as several tries had my Grunt doing the "blub blub' thing. So the detour must be the way to go. Will try that next, when my spirit can be refreshed by doing something else I may actually SUCCEED at doing.

[swietymiki]

That bridge is the right path. However, you can skip a part of it as there's a Secret Teleporter on one of the toggled tiles which will take you to the other side.

Thinking about it, "How can a PERFECT! score be achieved without using that SecretTeleporterTrigger?" I thought it was possible to just go through a Red Warp without doing/acquiring anything, but you had to go through it. Must be getting old, if it has always worked that the Red Warp was 'optional' when playing in 'normal' (not EASY) mode.

[GooRoo]

How frustrating! The reversed program function keys on this laptop (fn+key for FUNCTION KEY) just got me. Stretching for the resultant F8 (restore) while holding fn, I fell short and hit F5 (SAVE!) instead. So I have to restart from the beginning ... and start using more than ONE SAVE slot.

It's possible to cross that bridge without the secret too, because I missed it on my first playthrough. You have to make sure you don't use the blue toggle switch. Pressing it allows for the secret to be accessed but blocks normal passage.

[GooRoo]

It also works to press that Blue Toggle Switch TWICE! And to pay attention to what happens when you press it the first time! Seeing the central Bridge Tile go down should have been the clue ... "You can't get there from here!" with such a central piece missing. What about the "PERFECT!" score without going through the Red Warp?

[swietymiki]

I might have simplified what the Red Warp really does in my response. To clarify: it sends you to an area with coins and a Secret Switch, and that Secret Switch will create a passage back to the main route. So a "Perfect" score won't be possible without accessing this area.

I thought I would have to take the 'shortcut', but I want to prove (to myself) that it is possible to cross that bridge.

[GooRoo]

Okay, so I have proved that I could cross the bridge in the Water Pool ... and that I cannot control two Gruntz in adjacent columns so that both survive. Too old and too slow with the mouse to move one to where he needs to be next, switch to the other and move him, etc. etc. etc. So, for me, this one is unsolvable, but Swietymiki managed it, so I am now sending it out to the Gruntz Fanz.

P.S. Time for some promotions.

Hello. How to find the passage to the secret after the spring? I took the secret on the bridge, and the spring near the silver ptramid, and then?

As you can see, Sherry, from the post just before yours, I was unable to solve this one. But since swietymiki was able to solve it, perhaps he can help. From your post, I do not even know what part of the map you have a problem with, in order to make any suggestions.
